Die Hard used to be great. The first is a classic, the second is decent, the third was great fun and the fourth was surprisingly good, but the latest entry, A Good Day to Die Hard, was rubbish. Why? Because it strayed to far from the set formula that made the first 4 such good fun. So I have come up with some points as to how Die Hard 6 can be saved, because I wan't there to be a sixth film. It would be a shame if such a great franchise ended on such a crappy note. So these points are;
- Make John McLane a lone wolf: The Die Hard films are not buddy cop films, he doesn't need a partner, unless its Sam Jackson. Obviously
- Set it in a confined space or in a short period of time.
- Use practical effects like blood packs and not CGI blood
- Have realistic action not having McLane fighting a jet.
That is how Die Hard can be fixed.
